-The prediction of the Romans’ defeat by the Persians is found in Q30:2-4 which says:-

“- The Romans have been defeated.

- In the nearest land (to the Arabian Peninsula i.e. Persia),

and they, after their defeat, will be victorious.

- Within three to nine years.

-The decision of the matter, before and after is only with Allah.

- And on that day the believers will rejoice”.

-The actual realization was when the Persians defeated the Romans at Antioch 613 AD.

-Just exactly 9 years later, in 622 AD, the duo met again in Armenia and Rome defeated the Persians for the first time after 613 AD.
